Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

How do you write 3.25 in simplest form
dedylja [7]
3.25 would be 3 1/4 because,

Step 1: You would rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. So, 3.25 = 3.24/1

Step 2: Multiply it by 1 to eliminate 2 decimals places, so multiply the top and bottom by 10^2 = 100
3.25/1 x 100/100 = 325/100
Step 3: Now you find the greatest common factor, also known as GCF, of 325 and 100 if it exits then you reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by it. GCF = 25
3.25/100 divided by 25/25 = 13/4
Now you would simplify it to make a proper fraction getting your answer
3 1/4
Does that make sense?

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.3 ft and a base with a diameter of 17.2 ft. Round your answer t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the volume of a right circular cone is,

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

Here r = radius of the circular base

h = height of the cone

Now we put the values in the given formula

Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi (8.6)^2(14.3)  [ radius = \frac{17.2}{2}=8.6 ]

             = \frac{1057.628\pi }{3}

             = 1107.55

             ≈ 1107.6 cubic feet

Therefore, volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.
